Yeah that’s the reason quidditch is a dumb fucking sport. You can be wiping the floor with the other team, but if their guy gets lucky and catches the parking lot frog, it’s all for nothing. They’ve won despite having played an objectively much worse game.
No you fucking can’t. I know it happens twice in the books but it’s such an absolutely convoluted thing. It’s like when professionals will every now and then make careless mistakes. That doesn’t make it a skill. If you’re 160 points behind, don’t grab it. That simple. The possibility that someone can drop a football by mistake before getting into the end zone is not some sort of strategy to plan around. No. It’s something rare you hope for on the enemy team. If you catch the snitch, you win, because you wouldn’t do it if you’re behind by 160 or more points unless you made a very amateur mistake.
Yeah, I usually go down this same thought process every time I re-read the books. I usually end up at, “Yup, she went out of her way to avoid Quidditch by using feebler and feebler excuses every book.” It’s a shame, because it really could have wound up an exciting part of the series if it was more thought out.

You can catch the snitch and still lose. I think the match in the book 4 World Cup ended that way before the Death Eaters showed up.
The snitch ends the game and awards 150 extra points but doesn’t mean the catching team wins.
